This week, the mailman was extra good to me. Not only did he deliver a beautiful bracelet set I had ordered as a Mother’s Day gift, but he also brought my third Stitchfix collection!
Now, you might remember the awkwardness of my first two shipments (if not, feel free to check them out), and let me just say, your feedback meant the world to me. It was encouraging, funny, and definitely boosted my confidence to give Stitchfix a third shot.
And guess what? Third time’s a charm! Stitchfix totally nailed it this round. I was worried they might strike out, but nope—they delivered. I fell in love with several pieces, but I’ll let you guess which one I’m keeping!
What Did I Love from My Third Stitchfix Collection?
The first thing that caught my eye was a Peter Pan collar tank. Now, I’ll admit—this is a style I’ve walked past time and time again. But for some reason, this one just clicked.
I’m convinced I need one in my wardrobe pronto—just not with a $61 price tag. For now, I’ll have to keep looking for a more budget-friendly version.
Next up? A striped dress that was absolutely perfect. It’s not clingy, not too short, and definitely not too “old” for me. The length is just right, and the cut is flattering for family outings or a casual dinner date. With a jean jacket and knee boots, I’d be good to go for cooler nights out.
Then there was the cutout orange tank—bright, fun, and totally outside my usual comfort zone. I’m usually more of a yellow lover, but this orange? It’s something I didn’t know I needed. Still, I’m on the fence about the cutout style for myself, but I’m giving it some serious thought.
What Didn’t Work for Me?
There were a couple of pieces that just didn’t make the cut. For example, those black pants. The quality was fantastic, and they fit perfectly, but they cost more than I was willing to spend, especially for something I can only wear in cooler weather. So back they went.
But I did consider keeping them—just for a moment!
Then there was the sheer black graphic blouse. It would be great for interviews or a night out, but it’s not the best fit for my lifestyle at the moment. It’s a high/low style, which I love, but I wasn’t feeling it for my daily routine right now.
How Do I Make the Most of Stitchfix? A Few Tips for You
If you’re thinking about trying Stitchfix (or giving it another shot like I did), here’s what I’ve learned along the way:
Step 1: Be Open to New Styles
When I first started with Stitchfix, I was pretty set in my ways. I knew what I liked, and I wasn’t keen on straying too far from that. But the beauty of Stitchfix is the style cards—they show you how to pair things you might never consider on your own.
This helped me step out of my comfort zone a bit and embrace styles I would have passed on in-store.
Step 2: Set a Budget
It’s easy to fall in love with every item that arrives in your box, but be sure to set a budget before your stylist sends items. For me, that’s been key to ensuring I don’t go overboard with my spending. I love that Stitchfix lets you choose your price range for each category.
Step 3: Send Back What Doesn’t Work
Don’t be afraid to return items! This is one thing I love about Stitchfix—it’s not just about keeping everything you get. If something doesn’t fit or you just don’t feel great in it, send it back. It’s easy to return pieces and get credit for future orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know if Stitchfix is right for me?

3. Is Stitchfix worth the price?
For me, it’s worth it! The convenience of having a stylist choose items for you, especially if you’re busy or don’t have time to shop, makes it a great option. However, it’s important to set your budget and be mindful of the prices to make sure it aligns with your needs.
4. Can I request specific items or styles?
